Furniture : American : Victorian : Pre 1900 item #1504587
Spoils of Time
$675
A finely appointed and carved rosewood (probably Sheesham wood) small tantalus box. Indian, British Raj period - 19th century. With four custom blown glass bottles with monogrammed old Sheffield silver plate tops - original to the box. Original key. Approximately 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 x 4 inches high. As this object is trimmed with 19th century Indian ivory, though original to the object, we can sell it only within the state of Maryland unless you can obtain acceptable CITES certification at your expense. As the box is made of organic materials from the 19th century, there is movement and minor loss from drying and shrinkage of the materials over much time. It is otherwise in good condition though missing one of four feet (which may have been added later in any event). A good conservator, retained by the buyer, could be expected to reconcile movement of the materials.
